I agree with Dyna's assessment of the current
Republican state government as "multimodally
challenged", i.e. they seem to think cars are THE form
of transportation for everyone.....the problem right
now, though, is that Mayor Rybak is not taking a stand
agains more urban highways, leaving us more
vulnerable. Further, projects like the widening of
Lake St to eight lanes and the I35W Excess project,
(which adds space for additional lanes on 35W) are
promoted by another democrat, Peter McLaughlin. It's
a disturbing non-mass transit trend coming from the
folks who usually talk a lot about the virtues of mass
transit.
